What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

So far I've used not one, but two, knives today.


Its interesting how different scissor designs cut different materials differently (go figure :)). My Leatherman Micra had trouble with the plastic shrink wrap, while the Wenger scissors snipped right through it. The Micra's are fantastic at cutting plastic zip ties, but they just kind of smushed this stuff around.

Makes sense Mike. The wenger scissors have a serrated edge which grab the shrink wrap instead of slipping.
A lot of utility shears have a serrated blade on the bottom edge, my favourite do.

Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is a stag knife from the Toledo, Spain shop of a famous cutler (but I think he just puts his etch on the blade of a regular production knife, in this case a Salamandra model 10012). My wife gave it to me for Christmas in 2017, but I'm sure my daughter is the one who actually bought the knife in Toledo and got it to the USA somehow.

Work Knife of the Week is a Le Sabot tonneau knife with oak handle (I think our crocuses are long gone now, but the tulips and quince bush are awesome this week):
